This product is very good with one exception, The plastic wrap that is designed to use fromthe inside works great until the last two wraps,at this time it is cheaper to throw away the last two coils than to try to get it out of the plasticThe time it takes to free the pipe from the wraptotally wipes out any savings from the product.

This is great pex as far as quality and bendability goes. I messed up some when I bought the 1/4" size thinking I was going to use if for a 1/4" refrigerator hookup. The OD of this pex requires 3/8 compression fittings so I ended up using copper instead.

Completely re-piped my entire home with Uponor PEX-A tubing using the Uponor EP ProPEX fittings. No regrets! Tooling was expensive but worth it. I will eventually re-pipe my other properties with this tubing. This is a top of the line product. Very easy to work with and the overall number of connections was significantly less than if I had used PEX-B/-C, CPVC, or Copper. I'm sold on this stuff!

A previous question answer stated aquapex should not be used with chlorinated water. All municipal water in America is chlorinated. Does this mean I must filter the city water to remove chlorine prior to running it into the aquapex pipe?

1) All AquaPEX is the same quality regardless of color. The blue and red are optional colors added to clear AquaPEX during manufacturing to make it easy for the plumber to differentiate between hot and cold while plumbing a building. Color-blind plumbers should just use clear for everything ;)2) All AquaPEX is absolutely lead free. It is the best tubing for drinking water ever devised by man. Far better than copper, PVC or CPVC.3) All AquaPEX meets all California codes that I am familiar with. It might not meet code if you were to use it for something like Fire Protection. But for potable water/pressure applications, it meets every code.Ken Morley

Color should not matter for quality ratings. In my plumbing project, I used red for hot, blue for cold, and white for drinking water that bypassed the water softener. AFAIK, there's no lead in any of this - piping or fittings. None of it is metal. Well the fittings are copper but other than that nothing is metal. I live in Minnesota so I don't know about California code. But I don't see why it would be a problem. Your local building inspector is probably the best source for the code question.

A:

Yes, this product can be used outdoors as long as it is protected from UV (sunlight) and is at least minimally protected from freezing.If buried, it should be in a sand bed to prevent sharp objects from wearing a hole in the buing. The tubing will tolerate occasional freezing and thawing, but should be insulated and buried deeply enough that freezing will not become a regular occurrence.Exposure to UV will seriously degrade tubing strength. The tubing should not be exposed to UV other than during installation (no more than 30 days) and the ends above ground should transition to PVC, copper or some other material.

1/2" AQUAPEX Blue (100 ft. coil)

Q:

Is aquapex (expansion ring type) suitable for direct burial or does it need to be protected with a sleeve, rap, or cover of some kind. Should it be placed in a bed of sand and then covered over.

PEX tubing is approved for direct burial outdoors, a practice most oftennecessary when running a water supply line to a house. PEX, since it canexpand, resists freezing more effectively than rigid pipe, but PEX canstill burst if water freezes in a line. As a result, it’s a must to burythe tubing below the frost line. The depth of the frost line in a givenarea can be obtained by contacting the municipality or local watercompany. *Althoughan unbroken line of PEX would be ideal, dezincification-resistant brass PEXfittings or plastic PEX fittings should be used in areas known to haveaggressive water or soil when a fitting is necessary. Stainless steel clamprings are a better choice than copper crimp rings due to their increasedcorrosion resistance.*Residential water supply lines generally use 3/4” pipe (occasionally 1”).SupplyHouse <http://www.supplyhouse.com/> carries PEX-B tubing<http://www.supplyhouse.com/PEX-Tubing-516000> in these sizes, as well asPEX-A rated AquaPEX <http://www.supplyhouse.com/AquaPEX-Tubing-517000>and pre-insulatedAquaPEX <http://www.supplyhouse.com/Pre-Insulated-AquaPEX-Tubing-11448000>.Sleeving the buried PEX (in PVC, for example) shields the tubing and canmake potential repairs easier. Embedding PEX in sand protects it from anyrocks in the soil. Always check with all applicable local codes prior toinstallation. (from pex supply web site

Rarely use Propex rings underground. Red stripe polyethylene tubing with stainless steel clamps will do at lower cost. If use Propex underground composite fitting ( not brass) my first choice, clay or sand without stone around tubing, brass compression adapters for different brand, types of tubing or pipes, electric PVC elbow when tubing go from horizontal to vertical, same PVC to protect from concrete and metal. For connections in the concrete slab band tubing down under concrete, connect and band up in to the slab. For outdoor boiler I use Uponor insulated tubing (very expensive but excellent quality). In general don't run any tubing too close to freezing zone and lay down tubing in curved not straight line ( any plastic expand and retract with pressure difference)Thanks

A:

AquaPex can be buried directly in a bed of sand. It must not be exposed to sunlight, so you have to transition to some other material where it enters the ground if outside. While AquaPex is not adversely affected by freezing once or twice, it could degrade if frozen and thawed repeatedly. There are versions of AquaPex that are pre-insulated with foam that can solve the freezing problem (if buried deep enough) and don't require the sand bed.

It really shouldn't matter what connection system you at using - you shouldn't be covering any joints as they are the most likely point to develop issues.I have seen direct bury done both ways - with a shroud and without. If you live in area with ground shift you will need a shroud otherwise it is somewhat optional- you are just running the risk of shorting the usable life of the pex.

Answered on 6/18/2014 by Anonymous

CUSTOMER CARE

A:

A heat gun can be used to remove and reuse brass ProPEX fittings (see information at the link below for more information). The portion of tubing that was used around the original fittings should not be reused. New connections should be made with fresh tubing that was part of a square cut at least two inches from the end of the existing pipe.

While you might technically be able to do this - I wouldn't suggest it. Heatingbthentubing beyond spec levels, which you would have to in thus case, would compromise the integrity of the tubing. In would suggest that you run the install with a little slack to account for these future needs. If you are out of slack it would be cleaner to do a clean cut, add in a connector and extension and attach there.Sent from Samsung Mobile

Yes you can and it will out last any metal pipe including copper or brass. Just remember you will have to support it (clamp or strap it) in very short intervals (about every 12"). We have used it for the same application and any place it may rub or wear we placed insulation on it.Great productGood Luck

My experience with the Uponor pex is very positive. Here in the North Carolina mountains, copper tubing is rapidly degraded due to the chemical make-up of the well water. The samegoes for steel pipe. The choices have been CPVC and pex. I was attracted to the Uponor system because of the nature of the compression fittings... there are no metal compressionrings that will eventually leak. The formula for the pipe requires it to be continually contracting and renewing the grip on the fitting. It may be something of a pain to make thejoint, but you are assured of a leak free joint if it is done property. As to the material, it is a plastic that does nothing... there is no chemical or galvanic action. Thetemperatures that you suggest, in my experience, are not a problem. For your peace of mind, you can contact the manufacturer for their cut sheet that will give you the parametersunder which the pipe has been designed to work. Personally, I'd never go back to the old copper tubing style I used for forty years.

I am going to be replacing an exsisting shower/tub 1 handle fixture. I was planning on adapting from the copper lines to pex-a to the fixture. Which fitting do you recommend for this application.

I did this by sweating a ½ inch pipe thread into the copper and connecting what amounts to a pex compression union onto this and from there it is all pex fittings. There are other compression fittings for copper tubing that do not require soldering the and one of these could be used as an alternative.

Since it is Pex-A you can use the propex expander method, brass crush rings, or stainless steel crimp rings. Unless you are going to install a lot then I would recommend the stainless steel rings. 1 inexpensive tool will work on most common sizes and you can buy them at the Big Box stores now if you run out. I used the stainless rings and the expander method in my house. I use the stainless ones now due to ease of tool and ease of getting more rings local as needed. I could not find any places that carried the expander method parts. But I still use Pex-A as we do get colder temps from time to time.
